Neocon Love Boat

I don't like to get all political on you folks too often, mostly because I find politics to get in the way of my slothful laidbackitude that I try so desperately to cultivate. But this is too good to pass up: a journalist from The Independent goes on a cruise sponsored by The National Review.

Here's the first paragraph of that story:

I am standing waist-deep in the Pacific Ocean, both chilling and burning, indulging in the polite chit-chat beloved by vacationing Americans. A sweet elderly lady from Los Angeles is sitting on the rocks nearby, telling me dreamily about her son. "Is he your only child?" I ask. "Yes," she says. "Do you have a child back in England?" she asks. No, I say. Her face darkens. "You'd better start," she says. "The Muslims are breeding. Soon, they'll have the whole of Europe."

Wow. Read the whole thing, because it's chock full o' crazy.

wow. that was terrifying! i'm completely creeped out after reading that.
i kept picturing these conservatively (and expensively) dressed people running around as if in some crazed Chicken Little-esque world where instead of "the sky is falling" they're all yelling "the Muslims are coming!"
my mind is boggled.
